Supreme Court to decide tax case over Crow Tribe coal
The Supreme Court agreed to hear Montana and Bighorn County’s appeal over $58 million in severance and gross-proceeds taxes collected on Crow Nation coal from 1975 to 1987. The 9th Circuit held the taxes harmed the tribe and that proceeds should go to the Crow Nation rather than the state. The court left intact the ruling denying $250 million for Shell Oil’s abandoned mine plans.
